Abstract:
System and method embodiments are provided for provisioning a quality of cellular user experience (QoE) or quality of service (QoS) specified device in a wireless local area network (LAN). The embodiments enable a QoE or QoS specified by a service agreement for a device to be maintained during periods when the device is transmitting data to and receiving data from the wireless LAN (e.g., a WiFi hotspot). In an embodiment, a method includes determining that at least one QoS-sensitive device is communicating with a wireless LAN access point (AP), reserving a contention free period (CFP) in a superframe for the at least one QoS-sensitive device to communicate with the AP, and allocating a contention period (CP) in the superframe for non-QoS-sensitive devices to communicate with the AP, wherein the non-QoS-sensitive devices are prohibited from transmitting during the CFP.
